Just haxin lolz don't worry about it
I am George Washington. I was born February 22, 1732 in Virginia. My family owned an Estate in Westmoreland County. At age six we all moved to Stafford County. I was home schooled with my brother by my father. In my younger years I was a surveyor of the land and started my career as a planter. Then my life took a turn as I went into the military aspect.
I also led the Continental Army to victory against the British in the Revolutionary War during 1775-1783. I was the first president of the United States of America in 1789, the only president to be elected unanimously. I was commander in chief and the first lieutenant general for the Continental Army in 1775. I had many well thought out tactics and strategies that made it possible for our successful warfare. No other presidents will be better then me and what I do.
